In descriptions of a lot of Internet auctions and on websites which professionally deal with the regeneration of the optical carriers, you can find information that machines operated by such business units fill the surface of a disc (fill scratches). In the following article, we want to present, what actually the OptoClear technology is.

AAANew from Azuradisc! The Uno - Blu RayThis is the latest machine in the Disc Clinic offer. After in September 2010 American company the Azuradisc withdrew the model 1600, which was very successful on the international market, the Uno had its premiere. The machine is fully compatible with the Blu Ray (PS3) carriers, as well as with all other types, which are available on market.

This is the latest machine in the Disc Clinic offer. After in September
2010 American company the Azuradisc withdrew the model 1600, which was very
successful on the international market, the Uno had its premiere. The
increasing technological development, introducing the Blu Ray carrier,
and the growing requirements of customers caused that the multi-step
devices aren’t so popular for customers any more and they have to give
place to the more advanced machines, such as The Uno. We describe several the most significant technological solutions that have been applied in this innovative machine:

New! Quick Load 2 the disc spinners are now built within
the lid system and contain a floating spring mechanism that
automatically maintains pressure from disc to disc. This new design
eliminates the need to tune the machine differently for PS 1
or other disc types that would normally require an adjustment. This
means you can repair ALL disc `s types in one MACHINE without tuning! This
also allows you to repair the same discs multiple times without the machine
adjustments. This is by far the easiest load / unload system available
for the desktop disc repair machines. New in Version 2 (Quick load 2) is virtually maintenance free, one
setscrew access, machined with precision 6061 grade aluminum, hard
coated. All of these industrial strength components guarantee a reliable
performance and the ease of the use.

New! Dual Sealed Ball Bearing System. We have upgraded
the spinner mechanism to handle 2 sets of bearings. Such solution does
not only create a smoother operation, it also increases the operational
life of the head. These new bearings are now expected to last 2-3 times
longer than in case of the previous system, while also running quieter and
longer than ever before and on top of all that they are virtually
maintenance free!

New! Final Auto Finish Pad It is built into the process
of the regeneration; this is not an additional step. Not only does this
machine remove deeper scratches in less time than any previous design,
we went one step further and added a final finishing pad. This special
pad polishes and wipes the disc during the drying cycle, removing the
liquid and polishing the surface like new finish. Until now, auto-wiping
feature was only available in the expensive machines priced at PLN 9000
and up. The discs come out so clean and dry after the regeneration, you
can place them straight into the case, or if you want to wipe them,
just dust them off with a dry cloth. No more wet discs or need to spray
and wipe off messy compounds. The discs look like new directly after the
repair process is finished!

New! Automatic Mixer - A.T.L.A.S.T., (Auto Timed Liquid
Abrasive Suspension Technology). This is a new breakthrough system that
makes the deep scratches removal and the final finishing possible in a
single step. Not only does it eliminate the need to shake your polish
liquid, it actually keeps the abrasive material suspended during the
repair cycles. Liquid abrasives, that are designed to remove the deep
scratches, typically settle too quickly, the deeper scratch you want to
remove, the heavier the abrasive content, and the more often you have to
shake it up to get the aggressive repairs. Until now a highly concentrated
abrasive formula was impractical to use. Now after years of the
researches, we found timing the exact suspension is critical to match up
with the chemistry and thermal properties of the liquid abrasive. The
result is this new breakthrough system that makes an operation a breeze. To
make the system work, we not only developed the Auto-Mixer, we actually
redesigned the liquid formula (Policool 4.0). The result is that you
don`t have to remember to shake the liquid. A microprocessor turns the
mixer on and off automatically. The liquid abrasive is returned to the
cartridge at the end of the process. ATLAST! Is a simple solution we
have all been waiting for!

After the tests in Disc Clinic:

We received form the manufacturer one of the very first test machines at
the beginning of September. The Uno looks as if it had smaller
capabilities than it actually offers. Small dimensions in comparison
with the Dual Disc II, which lent the major regeneration technology, may
misinform about capabilities of this compact unit. First contact... and
to my surprise, I can see the most up-to-date technologies in the field of
the disc regeneration after I have opened the cover and side doors. New
sealed system, which makes the assembly of a disc really easy,
A.T.L.A.S.T. technology, which joins the quickened, the more accurate
regeneration process (that replaces a multi-step process) and the
automatic mixer, which continues to maintain the PoliCool in
the optimum condition in order to start the regeneration process, are just
some of these particularly helpful news. Let’s start then! We assemble a
scratched disc in the machine- as I have mentioned before, the process
is a piece of cake – click… and the disc is ready to be repaired. The disc
isn’t severely scratched, these are rather average scratches, and so I
decide on the shortest mode of 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the disc
has been repaired to its factory features- there are no scratches and
the surface is perfectly smooth and shiny. What is even more important,
I don’t have to use any cleaning liquid, as the disc is dry. The only
thing I should do to achieve a final wipe, is two wipes with the Azuradisc
cloth. Now it’s time to check, whether the unit is good at the removing
of the extreme scratches! I do scratches on a disc with a kitchen knife, and
additionally, I rub the disc against a wall several times. After the
longest cycle of 180 seconds, the disc looks flawless. All the scratches
have disappeared and the surface, just like in case of the other disc,
is unexceptional. To sum up, for the first time in my life I have tested
a complete machine, which not only removes the scratches simply
perfectly, but it also definitely minimizes the service time. The
machine is fully compatible with Blu Ray (PS3)
carriers, as well as with all other types available on market. If God
created the disc regeneration machine, he would look up to heavenly The
Uno.
